"It seems that the chasing troops have dispersed." Jiang Heng looked up at the sky.
He and Jie Gui walked all day and left the mountain stream. Jie Gui picked some crispy peaches from early summer for him to eat. The two barely filled their stomachs, and Jiang Heng began to look for the village.
"Be careful," Jie Gui said, "now the whole world is chasing you, and the pomp is unprecedented."
This is indeed an enemy of the whole world, Ying, Dai, Zheng, Liang, Yong, every country wants to kill him. Jiang Heng did not expect that he would actually become the enemy of the world.
If he died one day, everyone in the world would be very happy.
In the evening, Jiang Heng finally saw a village where many people escaped from Anyang. After a war, they either ran to Zheng State or to the small towns to the east of Liang State, which had not yet fallen.
He settled Jie Gui first, and then simply listened to the news, and learned that the twelve-year-old King Xiaoliang had been released and now entered Weiguan. Zheng Jun is reorganizing his army, assembling Liang Jun, mostly wanting to restore the country for Liang.
The people's escape also brought a lot of supplies, including the medicine that Jiang Heng needed most, and the taro that he could use to disguise himself. He first healed Jie Gui's wounds, and then wrapped his blood-separated hand with medicine. Jie Gui first lost blood, then fell into the water, and developed a high fever. Jiang Heng boiled two strong medicines and poured it into him to help him reduce the fever.
"You can hold on," Jiang Heng said, "rest well."
Jie Gui was like an unwanted child, drenched in sweat, moaning incessantly on the bed. Jiang Heng began to use taro to make dough glue, adding nitrate and alum for the purpose of disguising.
In the second half of the night, Jie Gui's burning finally subsided.
"Why do you care about Geng Yuan's son?" Jie Gui obviously had a lot of dreams, and that was the first sentence he said to Jiang Heng after waking up.
Crazy. Jiang Heng thought to himself.
"Yeah, why do you care about Geng Yuan's son," Jiang Heng said, "you are not a relative, not a relationship. Come on, put a face on it and see the effect."
Jie Gui didn't move, laying down and letting Jiang Heng act, and said, "Let's go, don't worry about your brother."
Jiang Heng said, "Go on your own, you are also Geng Yuan's son."
Jie Gui smiled and said, "I forgot."
"It's not just you," Jiang Heng said, "a lot of people have forgotten about it."
His words by the Yellow River seemed to remind someone that Jiang Heng would also perish with them, when he was in this world and his last bit of attachment was taken away.
With that sword at Yubi Pass, Juicong must have healed the scar and forgot the pain.
South of Anyang City, in prison.
Geng Shu broke out in sweat and miraculously came back to life. His eyes were able to see again, and his sight was returning little by little. The inner wound was still aching, but he looked up at the fence of the skylight, thinking that he might be able to escape.
But Qu Fen knew what he was capable of, and he was determined not to give him food, let alone water.
Geng Shu's throat was burning hot, he needed to drink some water to fill his stomach, otherwise, even if the injury healed, he would still have no strength.
There were all guards outside, and he had no weapons. At the same time, he heard the sound of the mobilization of troops in the distance.
Are you going to wake up? Geng Shu thought to himself, Jiang Heng didn't know where he went, it should be safe now, he was afraid that the blood moon would follow him all the way.
Another war in Anyang is about to break out. In just one month, this thousand-year-old capital has experienced the most intensive war ever.
But today, the Ying army has not considered a forcible attack on Beicheng, at least not now. All the people in the city stood on the roof of Shandao Street, watching this scene in horror from all directions.
Tens of thousands of Ying troops came from the ground and lined up in the southern city. The Yong army crossed the palace from the north of the city and faced the Ying army at a distance. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Qu Fen and Xiang Yu rode their horses, armed with armour all over their bodies, without rushing or slowing down, and came to the street.
Ju Cong, Ju Ling, and Zeng Yu stood out from the crowd on the side of Yong's army and confronted Ying's army from a distance. Juicong couldn't explain what happened two days ago to the soldiers, let alone to his sister. He was still waiting, waiting for the blood moon to bring back Jiang Heng's head.
But now there are foreign enemies, and we must defend them first.
"Your Majesty King Yong," Qu Fen said loudly, "When did you fulfill your promise?"
"What promise?" Juicong said coldly, "The Lone King doesn't remember any promise."
Qu Fen laughed and said, "By the way, you didn't find out that one of your own is missing?"
Juicong said loudly: "If you have something to say, say it, I'm not used to joking with you southerners, and if you don't have anything to say, please come back."
Juicy's face turned black, and she was about to stop talking.
Qu Fen said: "Okay! Let's get straight to the point, everyone! They are all barbarians, and they should follow the rules of barbarians."
"Being compared to the barbarians," said Ju Cong, "you are the only family in the world. What do you want to use to blackmail the solitary king?"
"Your son is in our hands." Qu Fen said, "Do you want his life?"
All the Yongjun army suddenly shouted, some people heard about the accident two days ago, but they didn't know why Juicong wanted to deal with Wang Juicong.
I didn't expect the Ying people to be so shameless, and to take the life of King Yong to blackmail them!
Ju Cong didn't answer, but Ju Ling said coldly, "What do you want?"
Qu Fen said: "Take your people immediately and withdraw from Anyang. It has been several days since you handed over the golden seal. Hurry up, it's time to arrive! Go back to your Yubi Pass! If we have a chance, let's discuss it again. !"
Yong Jun's emotions suddenly surged, his grief and indignation were incomparable, and he looked at Kufen.
Juicong said, "Son? What kind of son? My son is in Luoyan City, how come there is an extra son?"
Qufen didn't expect that Juicong was even more shameless than him, and his expression changed immediately. Not long ago, when Ju Cong met in the main hall of the palace, he personally said to him "two sons, one is in Luoyan, the other is in front of you" and so on. Now he turned around and turned his face away
Qu Fen did not argue with him, and sneered: "Then, tomorrow morning, they will execute him here!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Juicong said that he didn't care, and ordered: "Tomorrow, everyone must come to watch the ceremony! Set off! Go back to the palace!"
Inflection points: "… "
Yong Jun walked away in an instant, and his abacus was in vain.
Xiang Yu casually threw a peach blossom in his hand, and the peach blossom was blown in his direction by the wind. The northwest wind was blowing these days.
Qu Fen glanced at Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu said, "You said it yourself, it's hard to clean up now."
"He had to die." Qu Fen said angrily, and then left on horseback.
Jiang Heng still didn't know that he only had one day left, but he was very clear about the urgency of the matter.
He bought two horses in front of the village, put on Ying Jun's attire, looked at the direction Hai Dongqing flew to, and hurried back to Anyang City with Jie Gui.
Wait... Jiang Heng said repeatedly in his heart, brother, we must wait.
At the same time, there was a turbulent crowd in the Yong army camp, close to mutiny, and the soldiers called for orders to fight to save the king. In Anyang, the war was about to break out. Both Ying and Yong guarded the northern and southern cities, and mounted strong crossbows.
The day when Geng Shu fought bloody and bravely took the lead in capturing Anyang for Yong Kingdom, everything is still vivid in his mind. He almost gave his life, gambled everything, and led the Yong army to victory. The father is a state scholar of Yong State, and his son is a hero of Yong State. The Geng family has paid too much for Yong State.
How could he be allowed to die in humiliation at the hands of the enemy
Jue Ling tied her leg straps in the military tent and changed into a night-time outfit. Juicong came to inspect and glanced at his army. He was very familiar with this scene—the night when the news of Geng Yuan's death came out, the army was also filled with this unbearable emotion, exactly the same.
"Where are you going?" Ju Cong came to Ju Ling's tent, screened the others, and said solemnly.
"I thought you would send someone to rescue him," said Ju Ling.
"Are you crazy?" Juicong said indifferently, "One hundred thousand Ying troops are stationed in the south of the city. Do you want to take three thousand to steal the camp? Will they not be on guard tonight?"
Ju Ling roared angrily: "Otherwise you will let him die?! Even if he is not your own son, he is also a descendant of Geng Yuan! Do you have the guts to tell the soldiers of Yong Kingdom? Say he betrayed you! You don't? To save him, just watch him die!"
Ju Cong didn't explain it to Ju Ling, and he didn't explain it.
"Take care of the princess," Juicong instructed Zeng Yu, "don't let her go anywhere."
Jue Ling suddenly raised her sword and stood up, but her brother was already prepared. There was chaos in the barracks, and Jue Cong was punched hard by Jue Ling and was kicked out of the camp.
"His Majesty!"
The guards rushed forward, Juicong wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes, got up slowly, and said to Zeng Yu, "Send her back to Yubi Pass and let her calm down."

Zeng Yu didn't dare to do it, but the guards stepped forward one after another and put the juice ling back into the tent.
"Send the whole army," Ju Cong instructed Zeng Yu when he left the barracks, "It's my order to report."
Zeng Yu replied, "Yes."
Juicong said in a deep voice: "When Juicong was defeated and captured, he left his last words. Don't save him, ask the brothers and soldiers under your command to watch him die, remember this day, never forget it, and see you in the future. Avenge him."
Zeng Yu didn't answer, and Ju Cong said again: "Life is long, who will die? He already knows his fate. His heroic soul will protect Dayong. In the future, we will meet again at the Jiangzhou Palace."
Zeng Yu was silent, and Juicong said, "Do you remember it clearly?"
Zeng Yu replied, "I remember it clearly."
"Let's go." Ju Cong ordered, pressing the corner of his eye at the same time, Ju Ling's move was so cruel, it made his eyes ache for a while.
Talking to the dead is what he has always been best at, and those who cannot get it can only be killed. Although he had to kill, at the last moment, let him die meaningfully.
Juicong has always believed that everyone has his own value, and everything he does from life to death reflects this value. Geng Shu must make the best use of everything, give full play to his residual enthusiasm, and boost Dayong's morale. With the strength of this mourning soldier, he is enough to mobilize the whole army's belief in revenge, and break Jiangzhou in one fell swoop in the future, which is very good.
Juicong stood in front of the main hall and said in his heart: Your son is ignorant and betrayed him. Now your family of three can be reunited in the sky.
The news spread from the commander-in-chief down to a thousand-man team, a hundred-man team, a ten-man team to a five-man team, and spread throughout the entire army overnight, and 80,000 people stayed up all night.
The people who stayed in Anyang for the last time rushed to leave the capital on this night, just because their homeland will usher in an unprecedented war tomorrow, under the iron hoof, I am afraid that no one will be able to survive. They rolled towards the south gate like a tide, while Xiang Yu's army fulfilled their promise to Jiang Heng and opened the city gate, allowing them to leave freely.
So in the whole of Anyang, now only Ying Jun and Yong Jun are left, waiting for the endless decisive battle after Geng Shu is publicly executed tomorrow.
